1 Long-Term Performance and Life-Cycle Costs of Stormwater Best Management Practices The department of transportation (DOT) stormwater practitioner has the responsibility to implement a stormwater program that protects the beneficial uses of receiving waters, is compatible with public safety and transportation infrastructure, and is economically and environmentally sustainable.

3 The tool then computes the remaining BMP dimensions and provides output on pollutant effluent concentrations, load reductions, and the whole life cost. Cost per unit weight or measure of a pollutant is also provided, so the practitioner can refine selection of the BMP that has the highest removal rate for the least whole life cost for a specified pollutant of concern.

5 storm event. Instead, the tool is appropriate for planning-level analyses conducted to evaluate the relative long-term performance and costs associated with BMP implementation.

6Specifically, the tool can be used to: • Evaluate volume and pollutant load reduction in comparison to baseline conditions and performance targets or standards, • Compare BMPs for planning-level studies, and • Evaluate performance relationships and sensitivities of design parameters. The tool can also be used indirectly to: • Assist in the development of a stormwater program, • Quantify local precipitation statistics, and • Establish planning-level BMP sizing targets.

7 The sustainability rating shown in Table S.4 is an estimated aggregate of implementation cost, effectiveness, and the potential for social disruption or implementation barriers. The practitioner can use the sustainability rating to assist in determining whether a particular measure should receive relatively more or fewer program resources when performing a program effectiveness assessment.
